One of the cheaper places to have lunch in the centre of Hebden Bridge. Which is what I did, today, while a rather cold and unpleasant day unfolded outside.

Oscar the balloon
Sunday 4th May 2014, 12.05pm (day 983)
This was never intended to be today’s photo as it was just one of those jokey shots, but I kind of liked how it turned out. The balloon, recovered from yesterday’s celebrations at Nottingham, has been decorated in honour of Oscar Garcia, the hirsute and notably grumpy Brighton manager (see this image for instance).
In the dentist’s, Colditz Castle
Sunday 20th April 2014, 2.35pm (day 969)
Well, you know. Kind of. It passes the time on an Easter Sunday afternoon.
Old locomotive cab, Oxenhope station
Wednesday 16th April 2014, 12.30pm (day 965)
Just an abstract, really. I like the cobweb hanging from the coal chute in this old cab. I don’t think the loco has been abandoned, it just hasn’t been used for a while.
Mosedale Cottage, revisited
Monday 14th April 2014, 12.35pm (day 963)
This is probably England’s most isolated front room, being located in the mountain bothy (hut) that is Mosedale Cottage in the Lake District. I have used it on this blog before, on 31/8/12 to be precise. I like the fact that in one of the remotest spots I know, one can come in and have lunch sat on a three-piece suite and (thanks to another hiker who was present at this point, but not pictured) read the daily paper, seen on the couch to the right.
The National Museum of Scotland
Sunday 6th April 2014, 10.45am (day 955)
Shouldn’t all museums look like this? I mean, by law?
Lavatory warning
Wednesday 19th March 2014, 2.00pm (day 937)
Call it toilet humour if you like but it made me laugh – even if the author lost it while trying (presumably) to spell ‘disembowelled’. And the wallpaper’s something to look at as well.
Where I spent the day
Tuesday 18th March 2014, 7.15pm (day 936)
Sometimes it is still possible to spend the working day sat in a comfy chair in a wood-paneled (well, sort of) study, reviewing the manuscript of a book. Counts as work for me anyway — it’s my book — but doesn’t lend itself to very exciting photography.
Bubble wrap
Sunday 9th March 2014, 1.45pm (day 927)
We are still getting through the packing for Joe’s birthday presents. Is it possible to resist the lure of bubble wrap?
Conference venue wall
Thursday 6th March 2014, 2.45pm (day 924)
At a conference today, though in Manchester. Held at one of these ‘workspaces’ festooned with motivational messages. I don’t mind this one, except the subliminal attempt to highlight the value of work (for whom….?); it all looks kind of Photoshopped, but isn’t.
